I had severe acne from the time I was 14 (maybe 15) or so and I suffered the same way you do/have. My wife had it but it had cleared up by the time we were married. Mine diminished as I grew older but I had pockets of it until I was 50. Our son got a double dose from his parents and we pledged that if we had children we would take care of it. We did what Ms Sue has recommended. We took him to a dermatologist and within two or three months of treatment his acne was gone. There are a lot of myths about what causes acne; as far as I know all of them are false. Talk to a dermatologist to find the real reasons and ask about treatment options. There was little I could do as a teenager but put up with it and muddle through; there is help now. Good luck.
